Week 1 : Exploring the GUI of GT-POWER
GT-SUITE is the industry-leading simulation tool with capabilities and libraries aimed at a wide variety of applications and industries.
It offers engineers functionalities ranging from fast concept design to detailed system or sub-system/component analyses, design optimization and root cause investigation.
Why you should choose GT-SUITE
Industry Tool of choice
- It is recognized worldwide as the industry standard for system simulations
- Used by most leading OEMs and suppliers
- Highly Acclaimed
Multi Physics plotform
The foundation of GT-SUITE is a versatile multi-physics platform for constructing models of general systems based on many underlying fundamental libraries:
- Flow library (any fluid, gas or liquid or mixture)
- Acoustics library (both non-linear and linear)
- Thermal library (all types of heat transfer)
- Mechanical library (kinematics, multi-body dynamics, frequency domain)
- Electric and Electromagnetic library (circuits, electromechanical devices)
- Chemistry library (chemical kinetics)
- Controls library (signal processing)
- Built-in 3D CFD and 3D FE (thermal and structural)
Modern software and unique capabilities
1. Fusion of 1D and 3D simulation in one tool
2.Imports solid models from CAD to create 1D and 3D models
3.Performs embedded 3D(CFD) and 3D FE thermal /Structural modeling with all boundary conditions provided by the simulated surrounding complete system.
